Hi Don,
What Richard is trying to point out is a change in Vista from earlier Win versions. Those folders aren't folders, and there is nothing inside them. They are pointers, there for backwards compatibility with older software that expects them to be there. All they do is redirect the application to the proper folder (for instance, "My Documents" just points to "Documents", the real folder). They are considered system files, so access to them is blocked on all levels to prevent anything from altering thier intended purpose. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Don" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news  D616563-7F63-491C-8A86-(E-Mail Removed)...> Not sure what im trying to do. just looking over system and trying to > figure > out whats what.
